Lets see the headstock!  (very nice FYI)

The asked for headstock shot. More pics and clips soon, I may have the truss rod cover engraved and no decision on a logo, yet.

Thank you all for the compliments.

I have an Ibanez Ripper that came with two mudbucker looking pickups that have disintegrated. I'm thinking I need to bring it back to life as a G3 clone. That thing is beautiful!
